Euro Manganese Advances Chvaletice Project with Positive Economic Assessment
Euro Manganese has reported a positive preliminary economic assessment for its Chvaletice manganese project in the Czech Republic, targeting a phased development approach. The project showcases a post-tax NPV of $492 million and aims for a full feasibility study by mid-2027.
Euro Manganese's Chvaletice project has achieved a post-tax NPV of $492 million and a post-tax IRR of 13.8%. The phased development includes an initial capital investment of $627.5 million for 50% capacity, followed by a $197.8 million Phase 2 expansion.
The project will process approximately 26.96 million tonnes of historical tailings, yielding an estimated 3.652 million tonnes of HPMSM. The total capital expenditure is projected at $964.4 million, maintaining consistency with previous feasibility studies.
Chvaletice is strategically positioned to serve as a European source of traceable battery-grade manganese, aligning with EU regulations and US procurement frameworks. The project is expected to generate between 800 and 1,000 jobs during construction and around 400 operational roles, with a commitment to local hiring.
